In the shop today... coat number 15 is applied and you can see the reflection of the fretboard on the soundboard. Tomorrow I'll wet sand again before starting the last coats.

Today in the shop...just received my order of humbuckers, pots, bridge etc... I like to have a side project for whenever I have to wait for the glue  to dry. This is for a Semi-Hollow Body ES-335 style guitar. I also made the glue up for the soundboard, backboard and neck.
